MacBook going to launch in 2016?

Is a 13in MacBook going to launch in 2016? When will the 2017 MacBook be released? What can I expect from the next MacBook in terms of tech specs? How much will the 2017 MacBook cost? Will the MacBook replace the MacBook Air range?

Apple only released the 2016 variant of the 12in MacBook back in April 2016, but we're already looking to the future and what we could expect from next year's model, the 2017 12in MacBook. Here, we sift through the latest rumours surrounding the 2017 MacBook and also our personal predictions based on previous Apple events, and knowledge of the company.

Those of you that want to find out more about the current 12in MacBook released in April 2016 can take a look at our 12in MacBook review, which covers everything from pricing to performance and design, sprinkled with our personal opinions of Apple's latest MacBook.

Update 27 October 2016: Apple decided not to update the MacBook or MacBook Air line, and decided to cut the 11in MacBook Air completely. This suggests our predictions of the MacBook replacing the Air line in the Apple product line. We suspect a refresh to the MacBook in March 2017.

Understanding The Top 10 Technology Trends For 2017

Last week, I noted Gartner’s picks for the top-ten technology trends for 2017. This list differed from the lists for 2016, 2015, and 2014 inasmuch as there are more trends that are not yet implemented by even leading CIOs than in years passed. My informal polling of CIOs suggested that most have roughly half of these trends on their roadmap, with many suggesting the number is less than 50 percent. That said, CIOs are interested in better understanding each of these to determine how many more should be added.

AI and Advanced Machine Learning

My pick for the best book on this topic in recent months is Kevin Kelly’s The Inevitable. A founding editor of Wired magazine, Kelly is in his mid-60s, but maintains the curiosity and flexibility of mind of someone much younger than him. He has seen trends come and go, and is a good filter for unwarranted hype, as a result. His book is an entertaining foray into the future of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and what it will mean for us.

Intelligent Things

The authority on the Internet of Things is Stacey Higginbotham, who is a former editor and writer for publications such as Time and GigaOmni Media. She moderates the Internet of Things Podcast.This podcast discusses all angles of the Internet of Things, including interviews with top IoT leaders, as well as unique viewpoints and in-depth analyses on the latest news and trends in the field

Virtual and Augmented Reality

Marc Prosser is a freelance journalist and researcher living in Tokyo and writes about all things science and technology. He has written a great number of pieces on virtual and augmented reality that can be found on SingularityHub.  One of the best is Augmented Reality, not VR, will be the Big Winner for Business. Digi-Capital estimates that AR companies will generate $120 billion in revenue by 2020.This article reviews how Boeing and other companies are experimenting with the technology, and the types of benefits it can provide to companies.

Preview of Blogger Templates and Gadgets

Today I learnt that setting a perfect blog is not easy for new bloggers. If you don't have any knowledge about blogging then you may have to struggle hard with setting appearance. I also struggled for a week to set a template that gives me satisfaction.
     After so many hours I wasted I wanted to create a post where I can show all screen shots of testing templates and gadgets and also reviewing them. So I created a new blog as I was not going to change anything on my working blog.
     Also the post may became a huge one with may screen shots and posts like these may not load on slower connections. So I have split up my post. Also it will be easier for someone if want to read in a specific area.

1. Templates
2. Gadgets - Basic -- screenshots of gadgets applied on blog.
3. Gadgets - More -- There are more than 700 and they enhance the beauty of your blog. Host of them comprise clocks, dates, social media posts, news, animations and pictures.

The future of television is here.

The future of television is here.

Watch the films

And that future is apps. Think about it. You already use apps to watch TV on your mobile devices and computers. With Apple TV, apps have liberated television, letting you choose precisely what and when you want to watch. Built on a powerful platform called tvOS, Apple TV lets you interact with your TV in completely new ways. Ask Siri to find just the movie or TV show you’re in the mood for. Or turn your living room into a game room, fitness studio, or classroom. This is Apple TV. And this is where television is headed.
